Was lucky and got Castillo's game winning hit ball tossed to me in first row behind Cards dugout as they left the field tonight! Oddly, no Wrigley Field 100 logo on the ball.

Re: W. Castillo GW Hit Ball

Re: W. Castillo GW Hit Ball
Were you able to watch Bourjos coming back to the dugout, and whether he tossed the ball to another player and/or got a ball tossed back to him? If he didn't toss the ball around, the only other option I can think of is that the ball got into the ivy and he picked up a BP ball without realizing it. I don't know how carefully the grounds crew look for balls in the ivy before each game. Both MLB.TV feeds don't show Bourjos picking up the ball; the Cardinals feed show the ball bouncing towards the ivy covered wall, but cuts off before I can tell if it disappears into it.Comment
